Enable and disable checkers

You enable and disable checkers in the Configuration Editor, accessed through the Klocwork Properties dialog.

If your solution contains both C/C++ and C# projects, you configure C/C++ issues in the C++ Projects tab, and C# issues in the C# Projects tab. Each Configuration Editor shows only checkers and taxonomies applicable to the language. Taxonomies containing both C/C++ and C# checkers appear in each Configuration Editor, but show only those issue types applicable to the language.

To enable or disable checkers:

  1. Right-click a solution and select Klocwork Solution Properties.
  2. Click the C/C++ projects or C# projects tab.
  3. Select and deselect checkers as required. To learn more about the checkers, see C and C++ checker reference and C# checker reference.
    You can also disable a checker by right-clicking a defect in the Klocwork Issues window, and selecting Manage <checker name> Checker > Disable <checker name> Checker.
  4. Use the Search field to locate checkers by code, title, reference, category or taxonomy.

    Your changes take effect when the next analysis is triggered.

    Clicking Restore Defaults restores all factory default settings. If your project is synced with the server, it will restore to the server's checker configuration settings.
